  • Inspiring, Genuine, and Passionate

    Elyse came into my life through her previous podcast a little over a year ago, and I can truly say she has a deep, genuine care for those who seek her out—whether for guidance, wisdom, or simply to navigate the beautiful path of spirituality. She is not only an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, but also a gifted tarot reader and teacher. When I listened to the first few episodes of her new podcast, I wasn’t surprised to find that all of these qualities shone through. Her passion for her cra... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2E2 - Beyond the Ruins: Solomon Pakal on Mayan Religion as a Living, Breathing Path
Q: How do Maya day signs and calendars function in contemporary practice?
They function as a living system where each day carries a personality, influencing events in a 13-day lunar cycle and a 20-day solar cycle, used for predictions and ritual timing.
S3E3 - Decolonizing Ancient Magic with Vanessa Lavallee
Q: And could you speak to that at all? How have you tried to put yourself in the shoes of a people that were so different from us, and how does that affect reading their texts and artifacts?
Vanessa explains that while we can never fully inhabit another culture, approaching sources with humility, awareness of biases in texts, and an understanding that households often practiced a more personal, intimate form of spirituality helps contextualize the gods and energies described, though texts are often political and elite; consequently, researchers should triangulate with material culture and archaeological context.
S3E8 - Ogham, Fairy Mounds & Banshees: Ireland’s Sacred Landscape with Jane Matthews
Q: Would you mind starting with what is the Ulm for those who don't know?
Ogham is the earliest Irish alphabet, about 400 CE, and it functions as a divination system; it's linked to trees and has a distinct way of encoding the world, centering the observer in their own universe and guiding personal growth.
S2E11 - Inanna's Descent & How It Roots Us in Place with Carly Mountain
Q: How does Inanna help people who don't want to be where they are, given the current state of the world?
Inanna invites us to sit with discomfort, where the descent disrupts comfort and prompts a turn toward the hard truths, turning toward shadow rather than fleeing, which strengthens resilience and communal responsibility.
S2E11 - Inanna's Descent & How It Roots Us in Place with Carly Mountain
Q: So let's start there. What does working with Inanna mean for you?
Working with Inanna means returning to earth and body, recognizing our interconnection with place, and using the descent as a medicine to re-anchor us in the present and in our communities, rather than dissociating from the earth.
